Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The goal is to choose the correct
demonstrative pronoun — either
"this," "these," "that," or "those" — based on the picture and the context.
Rules for Demonstrative Pronouns:
-
This / That → used for
singular nouns.
-
This = close to the speaker
-
That = farther from the speaker
-
These / Those → used for
plural nouns.
-
These = close to the speaker
-
Those = farther from the speaker

✔ All sentences use
"this" or
"these" because the hand is pointing
close to the speaker (no dotted lines indicating distance), so we use
"this/these".
> 💡 Note: If the hand were pointing with dots (like in some examples where it shows distance), we’d use "that/those." But here, all are
close, so only
this/these apply.
